Kylie 
After one last treasure hunt, I’ll no longer be in debt to my sleezy stepfather. 
I’ll be free. 
It’s the only reason I agree to dive into the Bering Sea—solo. 
I find the treasure. 
But when I resurface from my dive, I discover my rented skiff is sinking, and I’m now stranded at sea. 
Until a Coast Guard helicopter appears in the sky. 
It’s both an answered prayer and possibly my worst nightmare. 
Because the treasure I’m hunting is illegal. 
The sexy rescue swimmer who dives into the frigid water to save me has the power to turn me in. 
So sleeping with him would be a very stupid idea. 
Almost as stupid as agreeing to be his fake fiancé. 
Or falling all the way in love with him…
